For the first time in a LONG time, we're starting a new show! It's The Jim Henson Hour and it doesn't have a single baby anywhere in it, at least so far. But does that mean it's any good?

This week we're joined by Tough Pigs writer, podcast host, and Sesame Street expert Becca Petunia to talk about more of Sesame Street anniversary specials.

We completed anohter lap around the Earth, though a little slower and closer to the Reaper's cold grasp. Time to celebrate with some truly terrible puppet-based TV shows and then upload our conversation about them to the internet in a pathetic bid for immortality!  Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch!

We actually watched some stuff this episode! Of course, it's a bunch of newly-surfaced stuff from years we've already covered, so it doesn't actually move us foreward in our Kermitment in any way and in fact prolongs it BUT still. Join us as we celebrate the life of MuppetVision 3D with some cool interviews and footage of the opening day parade, and also we watched some dumb stuff for babies. And Gene Shalit is here too for some reason.  Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!

Matt had a baby! Sam got married! Only one of those things is the reason that we haven't made an episode in a while. Can you guess which one?  Da Boys are back to tell you how their summers have been, talk too much about babies and Marvel movies, and give you a little taste of what's next and when you can expect it. All recorded live in front of a studio audience sort of! We missed you! Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!
